Lem’s latest: Malignaggi vows ‘no love taps’ with Judah

Paulie Malignaggi says he is motivated to defeat Zab Judah, despite the fact that the Brooklyn natives are friends. Malignaggi and Judah headline a Showtime-televised card at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday.

IBF welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander defeated Shawn Porter once when they were amateurs, but says that he will be more dominant over his former rival when they meet as pros on Dec. 7 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Juan Manuel Marquez said he was “scared of the judges more than” Tim Bradley during the post-fight press conference for their WBO welterweight title bout that Bradley won by split decision on Saturday in Las Vegas.

IBF welterweight beltholder Devon Alexander said that he wants “to send a statement to everybody at 147” that he’s “a force to be reckoned with” by defeating Lee Purdy on Saturday, perhaps by knockout.
